Since 2015, Only NY has partnered with the NYC Parks Department to create collections that celebrate the city’s Parks and Recreation system. For Summer 2025, we’re proud to introduce Part 1 of our NYC Parks Collection, featuring ten t-shirts with new and archival artwork that highlight what makes NYC Parks special—from recreation to natural habitats. Designs include graphics honoring two meccas of city basketball: the West 4th Street Courts and Dyckman Park, as well as a long sleeve tee highlighting Jamaica Bay in Rockaway. The release is rounded out with a pair of running socks and a 100% poly mesh reversible practice pinnie, perfect for pickup games or weekend trips to the park.

Shot on location in Brooklyn’s largest park, Marine Park, we spent the day with our friends Thiago and Natalie exploring its expansive landscape—from tidal salt marshes fed by Jamaica Bay to open fields and athletic courts. Natural areas like Marine Park’s marshlands play a vital role in New York’s urban ecosystem, helping absorb stormwater, soften wave impacts, and reduce erosion through their deep-rooted grasses.

Part 1 of the Summer 2025 NYC Parks Collection releases on Thursday, 5.15 @ 12PM EST online and select styles available in-store @ 176 Stanton St.
